Norman Antivirus

mAlvaradoIn my experience, NORTON is not a real antivirus, un my opinion this is a sotfware that acts like a virus, uses a lot of ram, always is using a lot of CPU just for nothing, and in the time I used this, never found the viruses in my machine.Since then, I use AGV, and I never had troubles with it, is free, easy to use and don't slow your pc like NORTON or MCAFEE
Other that I know is good is Avira, or MxOne that is the best on preventing viruses from your USB devices.Another option is deleting the viruses directly from your computer and USBs, but it requires time to know exactly what virus is, and search how to delete it.By the way, in my house I have installed Kubuntu (a version of linux with KDE as window manager) because there is very few viruses for this OS, and is very rare to be infected. And have Win7, but is very very strange that I use it.

Loonylionno. they're the safest form of peer 2 peer in existance.

But I find downloading normally faster, 2mbps compared to like... 100kbps.

Sorry then, thought you were talking about Norman, since your opinion on Norton is almost like opinions on Norman.

Like I said on msn, they vary...from amounts of seeds, to what the individual speeds of the seeds, to...well your own speed.EDITED:Wrong messaged quoted

I think you quoted the wrong person ::)

do you have no-cd cracks on your pc? most are "considered" viruses and if you "backed up" any of those it might be why it did that to your system restores.... since you didnt have to pay for it i'd use it... have you even contacted norman and asked why? they look as good as any anti-virus, but i think they all suck..... just not as much as norton or mcafeei dont use any of those programs though, i did all my internet exploring on windows 98 back in the day so i rarely go to any site that i dont know. i quit using them because they eat up CPU and i always have to disable them or "allow" my programs/games to run.. i wouldnt really worry about an anti-virus program unless you're not the only one using your comnputerif you wouldve asked me like 3 years ago i would have told you Avira antivirus was the best but now i dont know.. avast was crap in my humble opiniontorrents appear to be slower because of seeding.. you can have 100 peers but if their upload limit is 3kb/s you not gonna get a 2mb download speed obviously. directly downloading it will always seem faster because you aren't waiting to connect/locate peers from 5 different countries
